Outmatched vs Running Back Wheels

So I put outmatched on CJ Mosley. I use Mosley as my non user LB in Nickel because regardless of how people feel Safeties play better at LB I think Linebackers react faster, play the run better and do dummy out. Anyway I put outmatched on him so see how he would defend running backs in man coverage and in the couple of games I’ve played he hasn’t allowed a single catch from a wheel route and he even animated for a pass break up on a Texas route. This is a 1 AP ability all around so you can use it on anyone who has it but it might a good answer to HB wheels.

Been doing this for months.

Outmatched would only maybe be usable if it was like a PA OSA and Acro vs. hbs

Interesting, I played someone running Outmatched on two linebackers, but I don't throw to my HB so it didn't do anything. I get killed by Wheels so I'll have to give this a shot

Yes I could see this working. However BM negates the Outmatched and you are back to square one. And we have tested this. How dumb is it that we have to have harry potter discussions about magical abilities cancelling each other out in a football game?

Lmao right. I don’t see much BFM so it’s an advantage on my behalf. Mosley got a huge pick 6 in the EZ in my conference final.

Shaded down vert hooks is the best defense for wheels

Who is shaded down? Lbs, sub lb or like dt? What are your drops set to?

I run default drops. Slot corner and sub lb2 in vert hooks. Shade down and they play the wheel route perfectly
